Changing Bulb In NiteRider Flight

[ThinkFast]

I just bought a Flight from a friend and the HID bulb is not coming on. The light only has one ride on it. I'm hoping it's the HID bulb, not the ballast. Do I need to send it in to have the bulb changed? I can unscrew the four screws in the back but it doesn't want to seperate more than about 1/4 inch. Not sure if the wiring from the LEDs are holding it tight or if it's something else. I don't want to screw it up.

My Blow Torch the bulb is easy to get to.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

My girlfriend and I have Flights, but we've never had a problem. If you do find the trick, let us know.

Are the LEDs coming on? If not, make sure you have the connectors fully connected. Sometimes they can feel like they're in, but they may not be, which could cause you not to have any battery power to the light. The same is true when you charge it.

LEDs are working perfect. I'll let you know if there is a trick. Thanks.

Stupid question, but do you know how to change from LED operation to HID operation?

Ya, I think I've tried it about 30 times so far.

AH HA!!! The magic number is 31 times. Go out there and try it one more time, and I'm sure it'll work for you.


J/K...good luck with it, and let us know what you find out.

I was able to get to the bulb. The LEDs were a little tight, making it difficult to pull apart, I had to give it a little extra effort to get everything apart. I switched the HID with my blowtorch and the bulb is good but still not coming on. I'll have to call NR on Monday.
